currently kramdown is the default parser:

"markdown" => "kramdown",

however this has caused many issues, as kramdown is quite different from
CommonMark/GFM:

and the kramdown author is unwilling or unable to fix these issues, for several
years now. after some hand wringing i discovered that you can simply use
commonmark with github pages:

markdown: CommonMarkGhPages

http://github.com/github/jekyll-commonmark-ghpages

and you dont even have to declare the plugin in _config.yml as its activated
by default:

DEFAULT_PLUGINS = %w(
jekyll-coffeescript
jekyll-commonmark-ghpages

A better way to fix this IMHO would be to update kramdown to a recent version, as all of those issues are fixed.
